Its nothing but rolling thunder out there right now. Being late summer, good storms are getting fewer and fewer. This particular cell over Minnetonka has a hail sector that has my house right smack dab in the middle of its path. Please don’t fall apart on me.
To be continued…
I’m on my way pug. Hang in there.
Actually I’m headed to Minnetonka to play hockey. 
That was a fun 8-10 minutes. Not big enough to dent the truck or enough to shovel, but fun none the less. Lasted quite a while.
Anyone in the basement yet?

You are so lucky to only think that you might have had an insurance claim! Our rain id=s on my stomping grounds right now and totally fell apart on us once again.
The most rain I think we have had fell on us this mid day. Think of it as a Windex pump spray bottle with one squeeze. For the last 8 weeks!!! 
Well I would’t want dents.
Had a cool little funnel cloud in Brooklyn Center. Haven’t seen the rain yet.
I’m looking at a partly cloudy sky with a band of clear sky beyond the Rocky Mountains.
Did I mention I’m in Denver.

I’ll be posting a video. I cut a snippet from what I video taped.
Tell your neighbor to get his gutter fixed, it didn’t handle the rain and failed.
Nice video. Anyone know if the roof should be checked for damage after seeing hail that size?

I don’t think it was big enough to cause damage. I got barely got a couple small dimples on the roof of the truck.
That snippet was about 1 minute I cut out of about 10 minutes. That was the end of the storm and the biggest hail.

Doubtful. There were very little winds it looked to come straight down there. Hail that size would need strong winds to go with it. No winds hail needs to be golf ball size and solid. Some times you get mushy hail and don’t get damage either.
Nice size stones…..

Holy Cow!! Thunder wake you up??
Haven’t seen you around much Mr. Handy!! 
Our power is out here in Richfield. Kinda makes working in the office a little less productive than I’d like.
Thankfully, nothing but 4/10″ rain here. I still need my garage fixed from the June storm!

Always around. Just lurking in the distance.
The news was scraping for some on location shots this morning. #9 had a live shot of a down tree. I noticed the area because it was 2 blocks from the house. The tree had to have been weakened in the storm a few weeks back, because there was a lot less debris this time around. I also didn’t notice any other big trees down in the area.

Nothing exciting, just thought I’d share. Plus I know some people here miss my nasally, annoying voice.
Saw your neighbors gutter come apart right above their door. It’s been a slow year for storms, I enjoy a good storm as long as nobody gets hurt 
Should have read the whole thread, someone mentioned the gutter I see…
Storm Damage near 94th & Penn in Bloomington on 94th St.
Old Glory is still Flying Proudly.
I was lucky with the storm just skirting to the north of Farmington. My sisters friends in Eagan were not as lucky. There will be a few calls to insurance agents in their neighborhood.
Roof Hail Damage. Check, may need contractor. Look for impact points (spots missing granules) spider web or asterisk lines radiating out from center are significant damage. Not urgent repair but may break up w/in 3 yrs.
That’s live weather reporting and great vid. Drove during a hail once and it’s pretty scary. This is more informant than the weather channel.

I know I missed it. Not to mention the heavy MN accent and the hairy arms…
East Bethel didn’t even get much rain to speak of. We dodged yet another one!
Normally we get missed to. When I was a kid we seemed to get nailed every year, but I think its all perception.
This one was lined up and held up pretty good going over Minnetonka.
I’m not worried about the shingles. I am renting there and move out in 3 weeks.
